Issue 'openssl speed' and wait for more numbers.

Short lived hybrid sessions kill (not that this or any of the current
reasons for asynchronous crypto really matters imho).

Instant benchmark:
sign verify sign/s verify/s
rsa 1024 bits 0.0148s 0.0008s 67.7 1198.6 (PIV 2GHz)
sign verify sign/s verify/s
rsa 1024 bits 0.0478s 0.0026s 20.9 381.6 (PII 350MHz)

The 'numbers' are in 1000s of bytes per second processed.
type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

blowfish is ~10x faster btw.
